halfway down the page. Here you will find the option to downgrade your account. By setting your account to downgrade, you are telling your account not to renew at the end of your current subscription

Posting a job is one of the most effective ways of accumulating quality, targeted applicants for your specific needs.
In the top left corner of your Care.com homepage you will see Get started today. Click the Post a Job button to the right of that to begin posting your job. We'll ask you some general information about what you're looking for,
and then you can fill out a more detailed description, informing available providers what the responsibilities and
expectations are for the position. Keep in mind that the information you post is publicly visible, so use your best
discretion as to the content you include regarding medical conditions, ailments, or special requirements.

You can always edit, update or close your job post directly from your Care.com homepage. You'll notice on the left
side of the screen is a list of navigational links. Among them is one titled My Jobs. By clicking this
link you'll see a list of your current and past job posts, each with the option to view, edit, close, or re-post.

Please note that by default your job post will be listed for three weeks beginning the day you submit your post. If after three weeks you are still looking for care, you would need to repost the job.

Please note that by default your job post will automatically close three weeks from the post date. If after three weeks you are still looking for care, you would need to repost the job.

The following list comprises the most common reasons as to why a job post may not be approved. Once your job meets these requirements
you can resubmit your post at any time:

Job posts are publically visible. Please use your best discretion when including information
specific to medical conditions, ailments, or special requirements.

Be sure that you do not include your phone number or email address, any last names or children's names.
Posts are publicly visible, and we want to save your personal information for private communications.

No specific locations or addresses. For safety purposes, we encourage sticking to the details of the
job, not the precise location.

PLEASE DO NOT WRITE IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS! It rather feels like we're being yelled at.

Be sure to include enough detail about the position so that your message is clear and can be understood
by a broad audience. Try to avoid abbreviations, and if you're adding a lot of content, separate into
paragraphs for easier reading.

Be sure that you have posted in the correct category, and make sure that all information is relevant
to the position description.

Your subject line should be unique and specific. Instead of just writing "Dog Walker",
try using keywords to help your post stand out, like "Searching for full-time, experienced Dog Walker"

Bullet Points are nice, but let's not go overboard. Caregivers and Service Providers appreciate hearing
your voice in the description, so please use complete sentences.

Be sure that your Account Information (full name, permanent street address, etc.) is accurate. Incomplete or false
information will not be approved.

All businesses, companies, agencies, and organizations should be registered with an appropriate business account.

Job posts are publicly searchable, and it is not possible to keep any one person from finding them on the website.
However, you can block someone from contacting you at any time. Simply find the messages between you and the person
you wish to block in your Messages; if you cannot locate the message in All Messages try also searching your Sent Messages. Once you have opened the message thread, you will see the care provider's name and profile information on the far right of your window with options to Block User or Report User.

Whether you've chosen to post a job to advertise your care needs, or opted not to, you can still browse and reach out to
local caregivers and service providers directly. Near the top of most of the pages on Care.com you'll notice a search
bar with your zip code already entered for you. You can choose the type of caregiver you are seeking (Child Care Provider,
Senior Care Provider, Tutor, etc.) and the search radius in miles. When you're ready, click Go!

Once you've run your search, the next page will list the results based on your chosen options. You will see that the left
side of the page offers a variety of refinement options, including years of experience, availability, hourly rates, etc.
There is also a Keyword Search option if you want to search for a caregiver by name, special skill, or any other keyword.

At the top of the list there is also a menu that allows you to sort the way you view the results by Distance, Experience, Location, etc.

Once you've narrowed your results to a relevant and manageable list, you can also save your search by clicking the
Save Search button in the top left corner. To re-run your saved search at any time you'll be able
to return to the search page, and the top left corner will provide you with a Run Saved Search option.
Please note, to view or run your saved search you must be logged into your account.

Each of the profiles you view are managed by the caregivers or service providers themselves, and ultimately they are responsible for the accuracy of their availabilty. Each profile
provides you with an availability chart detailing the days and times that the provider is available. You
will also notice that each profile indicates the Last Login at the top right of the page, this gives you a sense of their activity on the site.

You've browsed through a dozen profiles and now you want to contact your top candidates. To begin contacting you must be sure that you're logged into your account and that you have a Premium Membership. On the provider's profile you will have the ability to send them a direct message - these are private messages and you can include contact information if you prefer. Messages sent through Care.com are just like sending an email
and are delivered instantly.

Many providers will also allow you access to their phone numbers, which you can obtain by clicking the Show Phone Number option on the right of the profile. If you do not see this option on a profile it means a phone number is not accessible for that caregiver.

Reviews are a helpful and public way of letting people know about your experience with caregivers you have met or worked with in the past.
If you have previously been a paying member of Care.com, you will have the ability to write a review through that account at any time. You do
not need to be a currently paying member to do so. Just log into your account, locate the provider's profile, scroll to the Reviews & References section, and click Write a Review.

Alternatively, if you have never had a Premium Account with Care.com, you can still write a review for a care provider that you've known or worked with. The care provider
can email you an invitation to Connect on Care.com. Through the invitation email, you will be prompted to connect with the provider and write a review for
them in the process.

If you wish to remove a review that you have previously written, simply find the review on the provider's profile, and click
Delete Review.

Please note that all submitted reviews undergo an approval process and may take up to 24 hours to appear on the site.

While viewing a provider's profile, you can scroll down to the Reviews & References section. When providers add references to their profile,
the references have the option of either writing a written reference, or recording a phone interview conducted by Care.com. You can either listen
to the interview or read the written reference directly from their profile. Please note that this feature is only available
to premium members.

When you are viewing a provider's profile, you'll notice several links on the right side of the profile that allow you to
Add to Favorites or Add to Maybes. You can also Hide providers that you do not wish to appear in your search results.
When you've sorted through several providers, you can find a list of your Favorites and Maybes by visiting your
My Caregivers page.

From your My Care.com page, you can use the navigational links listed on the left side to find the My Caregivers link.
This is where you can browse through the providers you've designated as Favorites and Maybes.
We also provide a list of Recently Viewed and Recently Messaged so that you can track profiles you've recently accessed.

If you would like to list yourself as a caregiver or service provider, or to apply to Care Jobs through the website, you will
need to create a secondary account to do so. Registering as a provider is a different process and requires a separate account.
You simply need to log out of your existing account and register as a new member. You'll notice that the one of the first questions on the
registration form asks if you would like to Hire a Caregiver, or if you would like to Apply to Care Jobs. By choosing Apply,
you will be guided through a process that will allow you to create a profile and begin applying to positions at your own
convenience.

What is the Refer Friends program, and how do I get my FreeTime credits?

There are a few ways to access your Refer Friends feature page. You will notice there is a link in the top right hand corner of your account, additionally, you can click the Refer Friends link located on the left hand side of your homepage. Care.com offers a referral program that helps you earn Freetime credits. All you need to do is refer Care.com to your freinds and family, and encourage them to upgrade with us as well! Please follow these three steps to earn your gift card:

Visit the Refer Friend page to find your own unique referral link.

Choose your contacts and send them an e-mail, and share with your friends and family on Facebook.

When your friends or family sign up through your referral link and they upgrade to a premium membership, you will recieve an email with a link to claim your FreeTime credit.

FreeTime credits are credits you can use to pay your caregiver through your Care.com payment center. You can earn credits through certain promotions around the site. Freetime credits typically expire 90 days after you receive them.

If you have active FreeTime credits, they will automatically be applied towards your next payment to your caregiver through Care.com. Your caregiver must accept credit card payments by creating a WePay account.

When you select a provider to pay through Care.com, you will be brought to a payment details page. Upon entering your payment information, you will see a FreeTime line iten, which will display how much FreeTime will be applied to your payment. *Note- Your credit card will be charged the full amount of the payment. Once the payment is processed, you will be refunded the amount of FreeTime you had used for the payment.

A Preliminary Background Check relies on criminal record data that is provided by jurisdictions across the country to a national database.
The specific data in this database and the frequency it is updated varies by jurisdiction. For many jurisdictions, only felony
conviction records - not arrest records - are included in the database. Massachusetts includes only registered sex offenders. Read
What's Covered By A Background Check to learn exactly what records are searched.

A Preferred Background Check includes everything in a Preliminary Background Check, plus:

County Courthouse Records Search- This is a search of the records on file in each county where the user is known to
have lived in the past 7 years. This type of search can find criminal records in jurisdictions that do not provide information to the
national criminal records database. (Note: Due to local regulations, for most counties in New York, a county courthouse search will be
replaced by a statewide search).

Federal Courthouse Records Search- This is a search of the records on file in each federal jurisdiction where the
user is known to have lived in the past 7 years. This type of search can find criminal records for federal offenses in jurisdictions
that do not provide information to the national criminal records database.

The Preferred Plus Background Check additionally includes a motor vehicle search of public driving records.
This is particularly recommended for positions that require driving or transportation.
Please note that the motor vehicle check is solely for the current state of residence or the state where the driver?s license is held.

To view a background check you can start by visiting a provider profile. There will be an indicator letting you know if the Background
Check is already on file, or if you need to request that a background check be run. Because background checks contain personal and
sensitive information, permission must be granted before you can view the results. Upon requesting access, the provider receives an
alert notification informing them that you would like to view their background check. Once they have granted access, you will also
receive an email notification informing you that the background check is available.

Once you have been granted access to background checks, you can view them at any time from the Background Check link
on the left side of your My Care.com page.

If someone doesn't have a background check on file, can I request one?

If the provider does not have a current background check on file, or if their background check has recently expired, you can request
that they run a new preliminary check at no additional cost if you are a premium member. By clicking the Request now Check link located in the Verifications section of their profile, the provider will receive an email that will prompt them to provide us with the proper information
needed to run the background check. If the provider consents, we will run the background check. You will be notified of the results
between one and three business days, and you can access the check at any time by clicking the Background Check
link located on the left side of your My Care.com page.

Once your background check request has been accepted by the provider, the Preliminary background check returns results within one day, while the Preferred check can take up
to a week. The Preferred Plus check can take as much as two weeks due to the motor vehicle records search.

When you visit your Background Check page, you will notice a Status column indicating the status of the check.
"Waiting Provider Consent" means that the provider has not yet granted permission to run or share the background check. (They may not realize that
they have to click "Grant Access" for you to view it.) "Submitted Info" means that the check is currently being run,
and the results should be returned in the allotted time frame.

Caregivers can choose to run Preferred background checks, and/or motor vehicle record checks on themselves. If they have either of these on file on their account, a badge will appear
in green on their profile. You can request access to view the results of this check as another safety step in the hiring process. If a caregiver doesn't have background check results
available, but you woud like to view a report, you can always request a Preferred or Preferred+ check to be run on them.

Keeping your billing information up to date makes it easy to upgrade and downgrade whenever you would like to use
the service. To change your billing information, visit the Credit Card Information
section of your Account & Settings page.

The most common billing errors can be fixed by double-checking all of your input information:

You must be located in the United States and have a U.S. billing address.

Your card must be a Credit or Debit card - no pre-paid cards, no gift cards, and no cards based
outside of the United States.

Check all of the numeric fields that the information is accurate, and be sure to select the proper
card type from the drop down menu.

The Billing zip code must match the zip code that is registered with the issuing bank or credit bureau. If you have recently moved or relocated for any reason, it may be worth trying your previous zip code as this information can often take up to several months to update.

Less common errors may be included in the following list. In general, these errors indicate that you would need
to contact your banking institution for more information.

New or recent address or name change may cause an Address Verification decline.

Care.com forwards all credit card numbers it receives from members to our credit card processor for validation and payment processing.
Once our processor validates the credit card information, we delete the credit card number from our database (with the exception of the
last 4 digits). This deletion typically occurs within days of our receipt of your credit card. Accordingly, we only retain your credit
card number (with the exception of the last 4 digits) for only a few days.

If you first attempted to run your card, and if you were prompted to correct certain information or entered information incorrectly,
your card will have declined. This decline may appear as a pending charge on your bank or credit card statement.

Care.com reverses any pending charges you see as a result of a card decline, generally within 24 hours. Your bank or credit
card company's timeline processing this reversal may vary based on their policies, but usually takes between one and three business days.

Care.com subscriptions are nonrefundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially
unused periods. However, exceptions for renewal charges specifically may be made if your account
meets the following criteria (please note that this exception applies only to the most current renewal
charge, and not the initial upgrade charge on your account):

Your account has not been used since the most recent renewal charge, AND

Your request for a refund is made within thirty (30) days of the most recent charge.

Charges older than thirty (30) days are not eligible for a refund under any circumstances. This
applies to any membership length (ie: 1 month, 3 month, or 12 month). Additionally, no refunds
will be offered for discounted monthly installment plans, bundled packages, background checks, or
products and services purchased through any third-party promotions or organizations.

Your Payment Center on Care.com allows you to make one-time payments to care providers
you have hired through the site. When you visit your Payment Center, you'll be able to quickly locate caregivers you've hired, added to your Care Team,

Scheduling a payment through the Payment Center is a unique transaction and requires you to enter
your card the first time you attempt to make a payment. These transactions are completely separate from your subscription with Care.com, and you can
either use the same card, or a different card without affecting your Care.com membership.

The payment option in your Payment Center is intended for one-time payments. To learn more about setting up a recurring payment or enlisting
our full tax and payroll service, check out Care.com HomePay℠, managed
by Breedlove, for a free consultation about these enhanced services.

Payments made through your Payment Center generally take no longer than 1-3 business days. As
soon as you submit a payment, the caregiver will receive an email informing them of the pending deposit. Please note that if the recipient of the payment
has not set up an account to receive payment, or fails to do so within 14 days of the initial payment, the full charge will be refunded to your account.

Once you have made a payment through Care.com, all refund requests must go through the caregiver that received the payment. Payments through Care.com
are direct transactions between members, and so Care.com has no involvement in reclaiming funds. You may also contact your bank to dispute any charges.

If you have active FreeTime credits, the amount will automatically be applied towards your next payment to your caregiver through Care.com. Your caregiver must accept credit card payments by creating a WePay account.

Upon entering your payment information, you will see a FreeTime line item, which will display how much FreeTime will be applied to your payment.

At Care.com we do allow adult children and caretakers of adults and seniors to set up an account, on their behalf, in order to search for care. The first thing we suggest you do when setting up your account is to create it in the name and city/state of the senior needing care. You are welcome to answer messages and screen applicants on behalf of your loved one, as if it were your own account. When messaging caregivers, please be as detailed as possible about the type of care that you are looking for and your relation to the person for whom you are seeking care.

Teen caregivers are care providers on Care.com that are 14 - 17 years of age. These caregivers can create
service profiles just like every other provider on the site, however these are parent-monitored accounts in
which a parent or guardian is notified of all activity and messaging through the account.

For the safety of both care seekers and caregivers, any caregiver under the age of 18 is required to have a
parent or guardian oversee their account. The parent/guardian has access to account and profile information,
and is copied on all incoming and outgoing messages.

Like all member accounts on Care.com, personal contact information including email address, phone number, last names
and street addresses cannot be seen or accessed on Care.com. We encourage all of our members to browse
the Safety Center for information and tips to making safer decisions
throughout your search.

Contact information is not directly accessible through Care.com or on a member's profile, however Care.com
offers a messaging system, just like email, through which you can send private messages to the provider of your
choice. After exchanging several messages, we encourage you to follow the advice in
our Safety Center about exchanging personal contact information
and setting up a public interview.

While teen caregiver profiles do not reveal personal contact information, we encourage you to explore each
profile and view the available info, such as references, written reviews, and the safety & verification
dashboard. This allows you insight into the member's experience, qualifications, and availability. When you
find candidates that you are interested in, you can send them a private message by clicking the Contact button
located at the top of their profile.

Family Child Care is a unique category for care providers that offer family child care services out of their own home. When you search for child
care on the site, family child care programs will appear mixed in with the listings along with nannies, babysitters,
and daycare facilities. You can also narrow your search results by choosing Family Child Care directly from
the drop-down search menu.

Family Child Care profiles display any information that the program has made available, including special offers,
a detailed description of their hours and services, photos, and any relevant licensing or NAFCC accreditation
information.

At the top of any page on Care.com is the search bar. You can use the drop down menu to choose the kind
of care that you're looking for, and you can specify the distance from your preferred location by entering
your zip code and setting the distance in miles.

Family Child Care profiles offer a wealth of information, but they are also only as accurate as the program
has made them. We encourage you to browse through the description, the hours of operation, and keep an eye out
for any special circumstances or preferences that you require. Care.com has also partnered with NAFCC as a way
for family child care programs to highlight their accreditation and licensing. Profiles additionally host written reviews
from current and previous families that have used their services, and can be very helpful in making your decision.

All Family Child Care listings have a direct way to contact the daycare in the form of telephone or email, and
we always encourage you to reach out directly with your questions or concerns.

Care.com does not directly screen the Family Child Care members on the site, however the profiles
offer licensing information, national accreditations or additional
certifications, written reviews.

Care.com encourages all of our members to use their best judgment regarding the care of your loved ones.
Our Safety Center also has a variety of tools and
tips to help you make safer decisions throughout your search.

Family Child Care providers are not required to be licensed to register their services on Care.com. Due to
varying state regulations, we offer these facilities a way to display their licensing and/or accreditation
directly on their profiles. If you are unsure whether or not an family child care program is licensed, we encourage you
to reach out to them directly.

The National Association for Family Child Care is a reliable source for gaining accreditation and recognition
for exemplary practices in the field of child care. For more information, we encourage you to visit their website.

On a Family Child Care provider's profile, you will also see a badge confirming their membership and/or accreditation of NAFCC.
